Medical researchers

Area of Science:

  • Medical research methodology
  • Health technology assessment

Background:

  • The evaluation of medical technologies often prioritizes empirical data quality.
  • Understanding the empirical orientation of medical researchers is crucial for accurate assessments.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the empirical orientation of different medical research groups.
  • To compare how pre-clinical researchers, clinical researchers, and general practitioners assess medical technologies.

Main Methods:

  • A survey was conducted using 600 questionnaires mailed to three distinct groups: pre-clinical researchers, clinical researchers (funded by the Swedish Medical Research Council), and general practitioners.
  • The questionnaire presented three cases for technology assessment: H-2-receptor antagonists, coronary bypass surgery, and homeopathic treatment for hay fever.

Main Results:

  • Minimal differences were observed in how the three groups assessed the different medical technologies.
  • Greater variations in assessment criteria were found within individual groups when evaluating diverse cases.
  • A positive correlation exists between the perceived independence of empirical data assessment and the demand for higher quality and quantity of empirical documentation.

Conclusions:

  • Medical researchers across different specialties show similar approaches to assessing medical technologies.
  • The perceived independence of empirical data significantly influences the rigor of evidence requirements in medical research.
  • Theoretical considerations play a role in shaping the demand for empirical evidence in health technology assessment.
